The assembly was somewhat difficult. The rod that attaches the diffuser to the fixture had to be cut to fit. The shade rests upon the upper diffuser with three brackets within the shade Getting the shade level was a challenge. Once leveled, there's no way to attach it to the fixture, so if the shade is bumped, it will need to be leveled again. The shade that originally came with the fixture had marks on it and was dirty. Lighting Universe quickly had the shade replaced. However, the entire fixture needed to be detached to replace the shade. Finally, the mfg discribed the fixture as having chrystal inspired elements--I don't know what that's about. Having said all this, the fixture is very ellegant looking and everyone loves it!!! It looks very expensive and impressive. The beige, two piece shade shows different levels of illumination when lit which adds interest to the fixture. It is a very nice fixture.

Beautiful Pendant

By Stacy Heuring from Fresno, Ca on Aug 22, 2010

I received the pendant from Lighting Universe and was super pleased with the looks of light. I would agree the assembly part was a little difficult, but after my husband and I got the light up, all was forgotten! The pendant light looked absolutely beautiful and added so much character to my dining room. For the price I was even more pleased. Highly recommend!
